User Guide

User guide for CHM Bridging software

The software can only be used after you have signed up to MTD (Sign UP), which you can join through your current HMRC Government Gateway account.

You are a few moments away from being able to submit your VAT return via Microsoft Excel using our Bridging Tool.

This user guide will detail how to setup and use the Bridging Tool to file your VAT returns from Excel. All your VAT returns will be submitted through your Bridging Tool and will require linking each time for every submission. For ease of use we recommend that you save your Bridging Tool to your desktop.

From April 2019 your VAT return must be submitted electronically and not via HMRC Online. We are working hard with HMRC to provide this service via simple spreadsheet drops to this website and direct from an Excel Spreadsheet.
